>Of course.  But just as the radio industry
resisted buying EAS boxes, consumers
have been VERY slow to buy the
existing receivers.

But the weather radios are cheep.  I have seen them as low as $15 at flea
markets.  I got my super-dyna-whopping model at Radio Shack for $35 where I
can program my county in and it only responds to that one.  What's more
important, lottery tickets, cigarettes and a six pack, or a radio that could
possibly save your life?  It all comes down to choices.  If I found myself
in the unfortunate position of living in a mobile home, I'd have a NOAA
radio in EVERY room!




>On the other hand, there are plenty of
cell phones on hand!

That's a great idea.  Or, you could use both NOAA radios augmented by cell
phones augmented by broadcast stations.
